1990 MKIII Toyota Supra, Burning Oil

*The car has been fixed, stop giving me bad advice*

This is my 1990 Toyota Supra turbo idling. As you can see it's burning a lot of oil due to a blown piston ring.

my 96 mirage has been doing this, but only when i press on the gas usually when i stop at a light for a little bit then go, it blows this color smoke then goes away when im driving, it gets worse the more i drive the car that day though =( do i have the same problem as you? is that easy to fix? college student strapped for cash! and i know nothing about cars =( *sighs*

Sadly, there is no easy fix. In your car, since there's no turbo, it can be one of two things. Either the piston rings or valve stem seals. Both are expensive and difficult fixes. I would recommend just checking your oil level frequently and just living with the smoke if you're on a budget.

my vic with 70k miles just started burning a little oil, this smoke comes out for about the first 5 seconds hweni start itup then goes right away. Idk, i think it has to be a simple fix cuz it doesn't hae enough miles to rquire engine rebuild.

If it burns only a little bit of oil on startup, I'm 99% sure it's the valve stem seals that are going wrong. They seals themselves are very cheap from a parts store - the labor to replace them is decently expensive.

No explosion?!

@SamanthaANewman

its expensive when your engine burns pil, oil bypasses your pistons burning it, also an item called a head gasket can also be split which can also cause oil, sometimes coolant to burn up

ok here is a question for any who are interested my 2000 Pontiac Sunfire has a loose exhaust pipe the muffler is not attached to the Cat lac Converter and it will not start what could this be??

[glowboi209]

just wondering, does the car bog? and was there a lot of oil going into the intercooler pipes?

I have a toyota celica st182 with 210 000 miles on the clock and with a changed valve seals it's still doing smokey stuff on cold starts, but sometimes not at all (!) and sometimes big ones...from ~1minute to 3 to 4min. of blue oil smoke. But when rewing warmed engine , there is no cloud>> What a .....?

@leandro5537 buy a second hand engine change it yourself you will be very proud of yourself i did with the help of some mates som cheap tools and a workshop manual,but you could study on youtube

@samakaballer try running a quart of marvel mystery oil through one full tank of gas that might free up the valve seals if it doesnt i would do a valve job on it

[hongerjp]

wow thats really bad. my MR2 is burning during startup and when i go past 4000 rpms

on average i burn one quart every 200 miles. Its a leaky valve cover gasket for me.
